As a brand new addition to Arbor’s lineup for the 2024 season, the Annex Camber Snowboard fills in as the freshest freeride charger. Its high-end build and ultra-stiff ride make for a no-nonsense deck that has been described as a “machine” many times over. Though it’s far from playful, the Annex’s 3D directional shape helps to counteract its innate aggression by aiding in the catch-free initiation and release of turns. When paired with Arbor’s Cross Vector Carbon Netting, the Annex becomes even more balanced and offers a controlled flex both longitudinally and torsionally. The end result is highly demanding, with an aggressive and insatiable ride that devours corduroy, powder, and side country with equal aplomb.

Though it requires a lot of work to reach its full potential, Arbor’s Annex gives back all that you put in. Amplified precision at high speeds, enhanced control in deeper snow, and unprecedented power without compromise are only the beginning, with many rewards left to be reaped from those who dare to dabble. Advanced and expert snowboarders will find a lot to love within the Annex’s fierce and unrelenting persona, while those who lack the commitment to aggression will find better luck on a less demanding board.
